I am looking for a 1 x CCD mini dv camcorder for home and travelling use, but am wanting one that is good in low light and is not too much of a hassle with controls. Also is PVGS120 any good for low light as I see it's affordable? Thanks to anyone who takes their time to answer me.

"is PVGS120 any good for low light as I see"
No. No color CCD seems to perform as well as our eyes in low light. Try those nightshot cameras.

I like your 'pun' Bob, but seriously is there anything digital (camera or camcorder) that is budget priced that can deliver anything decent in low light conditions as well as bright light conditions. Our present analog Sony is good in low light but HUGE and I can't stand the controls, I am always leaving it on and recording the lens cap.........
You'll have to compare the LUX noted on your existing model and the new one and see if "on paper" it is better or worse.
